Creative Headshot for Amelia with vivid yellow background in Albuquerque New Mexico

Going super vivid with a yellow background for headshots in ABQ

Long-time networking friend Paul has been referring several people to me for headshots, which I really appreciate! That is how Amelia came to visit the JCP Home Studio for her headshot session. After adjusting the lighting to make sure there was no glare in her glasses, we tried out several background colors before ending with an exciting vibrant yellow which was my favorite of the shoot. As expected, the more clients see the new vivid color backgrounds I now offer, the more they are choosing them for their own headshots! Thank you Paul for another referral and to Amelia being so great in front of the camera working with me to get the best results for no glare.

Yellow McLaren 650S Spider at Dimmit Automotive Florida Car Photography - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/11 ISO 200 7-exposure HDR tripod mounted with cable releaseFeatured prominently in the front window of the Dimmitt Automotive showroom in Pinellas Park Florida, this yellow McLaren 650S Spider certainly is an eye catcher.  The contrast of the bright yellow paint and black trim on the newly stylized supercar from McLaren looks striking.  I was barely able to squeeze in between the car and the window with my Nikon and tripod to be able to make the above shot.

The 650S follows the McLaren 12C which some said was a little boring for an exotic car (I didn't think so).  The 650S borrows design elements, like the above McLaren logo shaped headlights, from the P1 hypercar giving it more than enough flash for a midengined supercar to look the part.

It is always nice to spend time photographing a supercar.  I imagine it as far, far nicer to actually drive one!

Ferrari F430 Spider in yellow photographed at Tampa International Jet Center - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/5.6 ISO 200 1/125thAt the 2012 Cars & Couture event in Tampa, Florida I had the opportunity to photograph this stunning Ferrari F430 Spider in Modena Yellow.  It was parked next to four other Ferraris fortunately at the end of the line so I could make some clean photographs of it.  As you can see it also happend to be sunset time making for an ideal backdrop.

After work contemplation

Staying away from the crowds, just my style too.

While I was photographing an event, I noticed the man pictured above looking out over the Bank of America Tower's expansive lobby.  The work day was finished and a social gathering was just behind him, but he took his drink over to that balcony and chose to stare off into space instead.  I was really interested to know what he was thinking and why he was off by himself.  

The yellow tones are natural as the large windows of the building's lobby were being flooded with late afternoon Florida sunshine.

Which type are you?  The go off by yourself to do a little thinking type, or the type that would be in the middle of all the after work socializing?
